Boundary blurring in Whitechapel: Whose history is it anyway?

In collaboration with the Survey of London this lecture will review the Histories of Whitechapel project to date, looking at issues raised and insights gained through this experimental project.

Survey historians Sarah Ann-Milne and Aileen Reed will consider the question of who writes history, and will present a sample of the most thought-provoking contributions and explore how history can be co-created through a combination of archive and memory.

The lecture is free and open to all but advance registration is required
